Chapter 751: Chapter 747: Try Separately Chapter 751: Chapter 747: Try Separately “And what about the second task?” Given how difficult the first task has been, the second one was bound to be no simpler. Nevertheless, Shen Luo asked, still harboring a glimmer of hope.

“The second matter involves my daughter, Princess Jade Face. She was killed by the Pilgrim that year, and her soul took refuge in the Nine Netherworlds. Counting years, she should have been reincarnated by now. If you can find her, let alone teaming up, the Bull Demon King might comply with anything you ask. However, with the invasion of Demon Clan, the Nine Netherworlds were attacked too. It is said that the Well of Reincarnation is shattered, making it impossible to trace reincarnated souls.” the Ten Thousand Years Fox King said.

Shen Luo gave a bitter smile. This truly was another task that was nearly impossible to achieve.

“These are the matters. Whether they can be achieved or not depends on Friend Shen's abilities.” The Ten Thousand Years Fox King stated, before rising to his feet and intending to leave.

“Elder Fox King, speaking of Princess Jade Face, the resentment towards the immortals and Buddhas for her demise must have pained Bull Demon King, being her father you must also be enraged, so why are you willing to join hands with me?” Shen Luo rose to his feet to see the Ten Thousand Years Fox King off at the entrance of the Cave Mansion, and still asked the question that was on his mind.

“I am not that stubborn bull. Despite the deep-seated hatred for Jade Face's culprits, the lives of my tribesmen also matter to me. I am just doing what a leader of the Jade Fox Clan should do.” The Ten Thousand Years Fox King gazed at the sky before softly adding a moment later.

After saying this, he stepped forward and slowly walked away.

Shen Luo watched the Ten Thousand Years Fox King leave, a flash of admiration crossing his eyes before he turned around to return to the cave. With a wave of his hand, he took out the Heavenly Book.

Instead of continuing to subdue the Heavenly general, he entered the Heavenly Book Broken Land, and contacted the White-robed Elder.

In the Fog Wall, the golden mist soon began to churn, forming the figure of the White-robed Elder.

“Daoist friend, you summoned me so quickly. Does it mean you have made progress in contacting the Bull Demon King?” The White-robed Elder asked as soon as he saw Shen Luo.

“I've reached Jilei Mountain, and convinced the Ten Thousand Years Fox King of Jade Fox Clan to join our alliance against the Demon Clan. Moreover, I've even met the Bull Demon King on Jilei Mountain.” Shen Luo stated calmly.

“You've managed to persuade the Jade Fox Clan to join the alliance and have met the Bull Demon King already, that's quick!” The white-robed elder was both shocked and overjoyed.

“… That's roughly how it went; lots of twists and turns. However, when I proposed to the Bull Demon King that we join forces to resist the Demon Clan, he rudely rejected, stating that he would never collude with the immortals and Buddhas. His attitude was very firm.” Shen Luo briefly recounted what had happened.

“Alas, due to the past events, the Bull Demon King had a fallout with the immortals and Buddhas, mending the rift would likely be difficult. Regardless, you have fulfilled your task, Daoist. Here is the Transformation Art of the brocade carp, please memorize it.” The white-robed elder sighed, quickly composed himself, didn't pass over a jade slip, but waved his robe instead.

In the void in front of him, golden characters gradually appeared. It was the Transformation Art of the brocade carp.

Shen Luo recited the Transformation Art, and soon had it memorized by heart.

“Elder, do not be discouraged. I've learned a bit about the Bull Demon King from the Jade Fox Clan. From what I know, if we complete two tasks, he might still be persuaded.” He looked at the white-robed elder and added.

“Is that true!? What are those two tasks?” The white-robed elder abruptly looked up, his eyes gleaming with tangible, astonishing light.

Despite the barrier of the Fog Wall, Shen Luo still felt a chill run through his body, his estimation of the white-robed elder's cultivation level increased several notches.

“Of course. However, these two tasks are not easy to accomplish. The first task is to find Red Boy, the son of Bull Demon King…” Shen Luo started to explain about the two tasks the Bull Demon King was obsessed with.

He told the white-robed elder about these matters mainly to repay the latter's favor of teaching him the Transformation Art twice, and also to observe if he could accomplish these two tasks, thus evaluating his cultivation realm.

Shen Luo was on high alert regarding the owners of these Heavenly Scroll Fragments.

“Daoist friend, you have acted swiftly. I thank you here. Indeed, the matters of Red Boy and Princess Jade Face are difficult to handle. I will call the other two in, and we can discuss together.” The white-robed elder said, raising his hand and pointing towards the void.

The golden fog in the distance rolled, and the figures of the yellow-robed man and the silver-armored man soon appeared.

“What brings us here? The new Daoist friend is also here. Could it be that the matter of Jilei Mountain has been resolved?” The yellow-robed man glanced at Shen Luo and said.

“Exactly, the Daoist friend has already completed the task of contacting Bull Demon King and there's more to it…” The white-robed elder briefly talked about the two matters of the Bull Demon King.

“Despite the arduousness of these two tasks, they relate to contacting the Demon Race. If the two Daoist friends have any good strategies, we would appreciate your guidance.” The white-robed elder continued.

“As for the search for Princess Jade Face's reincarnation, I'm unable to be of much assistance. However, I can help to find the whereabouts of the Red Boy. As for how to persuade him to return to Bull Demon King, we'll discuss that more once we've found him.” The yellow-robed man pondered and said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo was astonished and looked at the yellow-robed man. This man could actually find someone in the realm of the Demon Race. Could it be that he had insider information or possessed some extraordinary divine capacities for tracking people?

At the same time, he noticed that the white-robed elder and the silver-armored man were not surprised as if they already knew about it, which made his heart skip a beat.

“I can send someone to investigate the traces of Princess Jade Face's reincarnation, but I cannot guarantee to find her.” After the yellow-robed man finished speaking, the silver-armored man also opened his mouth.

“I appreciate your efforts.” The white-robed elder thankfully clasped his hands together.

Shen Luo stood by quietly and listened to their conversation without interrupting.

The three quickly came to an agreement, and the white-robed elder turned to Shen Luo: “When we have the results of our investigation, we might need your help with the Bull Demon King.”

“No problem. However, Jilei Mountain is not a safe place, and there is a group of the Demon Clan attacking it. The leader is a Taiyi Realm creature named Black Skeleton. He is using the blood sacrificial method to enhance the cultivation level of his demons. If Jilei Mountain cannot withstand the attack, I, being weak, will have to leave there.” Shen Luo slowly said.

“Of course, Daoist friend, you must prioritize your own safety. Even if we fail to win over the Bull Demon King in the end, it doesn't matter.” The white-robed elder stated immediately.

Shen Luo was stunned for a moment. His intention of saying all of that was to take advantage of the fact that the white-robed elder and the others were eager to get in touch with the Bull Demon King in order to extort some benefits from them. Unexpectedly, the white-robed elder advised him to prioritize his own safety, which made him feel as if he had landed a punch in thin air.

“Since we've almost discussed everything, I have important matters to attend to, so I'll leave first.” The yellow-robed man said and was about to leave.

“Would the yellow-robed Daoist friend please wait for a moment?” Shen Luo suddenly spoke up.

“What is it, young Daoist friend?” The yellow-robed man looked towards Shen Luo, his face revealing a slight smile.

“It's regarding this matter. My family name is Shen, please call me Friend Shen, not young Daoist. And how should I address you all? If you do not wish to reveal your family names, you can use code names. We will surely have to meet frequently in this place. It's very inconvenient if we keep addressing each other as Daoist.” Shen Luo secretly rolled his eyes and said irritably.

It seemed like these three people were all important figures who had enough influence to investigate situations within the realm of the Demon Race, let alone at Jilei Mountain. His identity would be naturally revealed sooner or later, so he made it clear right there.

Moreover, he might have to leave the Dream World at any moment. It didn't matter if these people knew his family name.
